Blankfein on the third rail

 


He's gonna get exiled from the upper class talking like that.

But wait...
[Bernie] Sanders took offense when [Lloyd Blankfein, longtime CEO of Goldman Sachs], in a 2012 segment on “60 Minutes,” said, “You’re going to have to undoubtedly do something to lower people’s expectations” that they will get their full Social Security and Medicare benefits because “we can’t afford it.” Blankfein advocated an increase in the eligibility age for both programs as well as other cuts because “entitlements have to be slowed down and contained.”

  The Intercept
What happened to make Lloyd sing a different tune?

Well, if you listen to that clip, the murder of the ultra wealthy health care CEO has billionaires worried that the rubes will "come after" them "with pitchforks."  They're sensing a Marie Antoinette moment coming.

Ladies, you're in luck

 He solved it!



More attacks in the US

It's impossible at this point to say whether these were caused or exacerbated by Trump's attacks on Iran, but I don't think we're going to see less of them while we're engaged over there.




 

All together now...

One more time. (But probably not the last.) There is no such thing as mass voter fraud.

This claim has been debunked over and over again. Trump's own commission on election integrity in 2018 found no evidence of widespread fraud.  (And most of the cases I've read about have been tied to the GOP.) 

My guess is Trump thought Harmeet Dhillon could be counted upon to lie, or tamper with data.  Surely he'll have to find a third person before 2028.
